Sun Microsystemshas announced that Sun(TM) Studio 12 Update 1, a major upgrade to its software compiler and tools technology, is freely available for download at http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio. Sun Studio software provides an advanced suite of tools for the Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System (OS), OpenSolaris(TM), the next generation of the Solaris OS, and leading Linux platforms, including parallelizing compilers, powerful debuggers, advanced thread and performance analysis tools, and highly-tuned libraries that help simplify the creation of high-performance applications and provide an optimized development environment for the latest multi-core x86 and SPARC(R)-based systems.
"Sun Studio 12 Update 1 software has not only significant updates that help developers take applications to the next level of performance, but is also leading the industry with tooling that allows developers to more easily create parallel and concurrent software applications on today's and tomorrow's platforms," said Jim McHugh, vice president, Datacenter Software Marketing, Sun Microsystems. "With more than 20,000 developers participating in our Express and Early Access programs, this release is full of functionality driven by and for the developer community."
New Features Deliver Application Performance
With nearly a dozen industry benchmark records to date, Sun Studio 12 Update 1 software delivers optimized compilers that allow developers to maximize application performance on the newest SPARC, Intel(R) x86 and AMD(TM) x86-based systems. Specifically geared towards C, C++ and Fortran developers, Sun Studio 12 Update 1 software helps developers significantly reduce development timelines with DLight, a new visual profiling tool based on Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) technology in the Solaris OS. In addition, new parallel features help simplify the development of multi-threaded and distributed applications. With enhanced and newly added standard routines, HPC, financial, and other compute-intensive applications will benefit from a performance boost that helps users more easily maximize their hardware investments.
"We are excited about the latest release of Sun Studio software and our continued collaboration with Sun aimed at optimizing Sun Studio compilers and libraries for the latest AMD multi-core architectures,“ said Kevin Wagner, Strategic Alliances Director for Sun Software at AMD. “Sun Studio 12 Update 1 delivers a comprehensive toolchain, enabling developers to generate applications that deliver superior performance on the Third Generation Quad-core and First generation Six-Core AMD Opteron(TM) processors."
